Fair for Provo Shipping Product IThe Elegant Specimens ofSerpentine Rock JustTaken OutMachinery On the Road For IProperly Dressing the I IMaterialWe had the pleasure the other dayof seeing a sample of serpentine fllarble that came from the Provo SlateQuarry No 1 situated one and onehalf miles east of the depot at themonth of Slate canon and owned byMessrs Ilathenbruck lv Pike of thiseit °eitThe sample is certainly the finestpiece of stone for ornamental purposeswe have seen produced in UtahIn conversation with Mr IIathenbruck we are enabled to furnish thefollowing statistics obtained throughactual experiments with the rockColorDark green weighs a littleover 170 pounds per cubic foot crushing weight 20000 pounds per cubicinch The rock has been carefullyanalyzed and shows the followingpropertiesSilica > 6050Alumina 1970Iron protoxide 7S3Lime 112Magnesia 220Potash 318Soda 220Water 32710000Acids have no influence whateverover the rock It will stand theweather for centuries without scalinghence it is very adaptable for outsidehouse trimming The grain is denseadmitting no absorption of waterEvery piece can be utilized as it hasproved to possess the qualities of thebest known stones for razors and allwood working tools where a fine edgeis required It is used for mantelsstairways knewel posts billiardbureau and table tops tilings sidewalls and in fact eyerything wherestrength beauty and durabilityis required It can be worked intoevery conceivable shape by carving turning or planingIn connection with the Serpentinethe gentlemen who own the Provoquarries have also a purple rootingslate that has all the requisites of asuperior quality The cleanage isperfect smooth and even well combined with toughness for durabilityA roof finished and covered with thismaterial will outlivagcuerations without any repairs whateverAll fragmentary pieces of varioussizes suitable for furnace linings isalso very valuable as it withstands theaction of fire oxides and carbon thosevery essential requisites for blast furnaces When crushed and made intobricks the rock has the quality of thebest grades of fire brick Of coursethe latter uses are auxiliary featuresof the stone as the main uses houseriinminus inside and out and furniture purposes are very remunerativeWe merely mention the other purposesto which it can be placed in order todemonstrate the utility of the materialThe prices for the finished materialeither for roofing or furniture purposesare extremely moderate The consumer saves on eastern prices from50 to 150 per cent and this not counting the money lost in breakages onaccount of the shorter haulWherever the samples have beenshown they have been pronounced ofthe best quality and in eastern markets dealers and shippers have not hesitateditated to say it is equal to the bestquality of the best Welsh slatesArrangements are being made nowfor machinery with w Inch to saw anddress tle serpentine slates As soonas this arrives the lucky proprietorshaving an ample market will be enabled to run the quarries to their fullcapacity the year aroundThe roofing slate has to be split byhand and trimmed by machines themachinery for this latter purpose being on the ground now All that isticking is the experienced slate splitters Mesbrs Ilathenbruck f Pikeare desirous of communicating with anyparties used to this work if any are tolie font d in the TerritoryThere is no doubt but what the efforts of the owners to open up this irn> urtant branch of home industry willbe crowned with success and wo firmly believe it will become a greatsonrceof wealth to the whole Territory Justas soon as one slate quarry is fairlylawn bed on the sea ol commercial prosperity other slate quarries will be located and opened up in this TerritoryA good slate quarry will be a source ofrevenue for generations to come Itdiffers 1 somewhat from the rest of metalmining the projects being perhapssmaller but a slate quarry is of longerduration and hence more staple5000 TJIIS TIMEJlic Boston Lumber YardsIn FlamesAnother Fire Attributed tcProvos PeriodicalFire tugThursday night about halfpast tenan alarm of fire sounded through thecity A few men
